G'day Kathy,

My heartiest congratulations on your EP and POTD kiddo!

This is a very well spotted, photographed, processed and presented photograph filled to the brim with great human interest as well as being a good flamingo study.
Shot in good light and exposed well with a nicely blurred background, crisp focus, great composition and wonderful natural colour and pleasing contrast.
A real winner!
